Thanks for the compliments Bob.
Yes, shooting the shoot-offs at 200 meters has everything to do with 50 meter groups. Re-read post #345. Shoot-offs are conducted on a bank of 5 targets. Shooting is timed and you have two minutes to shoot five shots, one at each of the targets from left to right. Any target shot out of that order is a miss. After the first 5 shots there is a cease fire and the targets are reset and another string of 5 targets in two minutes. Shoot-offs are 10 shots at 1/2 size targets at 200 meters. In International championship competition shooting a score that gets you into a tie breaker shoot-off is simply a score that got you into the match (the shoot-offs, for me the real match) for the championship. Do not take a revolver score that gets you there lightly. Shooting an 80 round match to get you into the shoot-offs is not a gimme by any stretch of the imagination. If you and/or your revolver cannot do better than the 2 1/2 inches at 50 that 35 Remington keeps mentioning you don't need to worry about the shoot-offs, you won't be in them. So yes, the shoot-offs have everything to do with it.
I don't have stacks of targets because I didn't work up loads or practice on paper targets, I did both on the targets I shot at in a match. I used the steel swingers set up at the range such as below. paper targets were a rarity and not nearly as useful as the real deal. These targets are the sight in targets used during the match, they are permanent and don't fall over as you can see from the hangers they are welded to. I had a few pics of some of these targets I fired but most didn't make it onto this computer. Below is five shots on the 150 meter 1/2 size turkey (4 1/2 inches belly to back) from a scoped FA 41 mag while I was working up loads.
